Yay for YA Lit!

Anybody here read Tamora Pierce?

The Circle of Magic books? The latest one, The Will of the Empress?


She's got one of the Circle in a same-sex romance.

:squeeble!:

Yeah, I'm always delighted when something new comes out; her stuff is like crack! After reading the Alanna series several times as an 11-12 year old, I lost track for several years and realized she was still publishing around the end of the Daine series. I've been paying more attention since then. *g*

She also has a good anthology out with Josepha Sherman, called Young Warriors. Her own story in the collection is about the girl who becomes the Shang Unicorn referenced in the Alanna series. I quite liked it. I think her new series is supposed to be set in the Tortal of several hundred years back, about a girl who works for the Lord Provost. Sounds very cool.

Oh, I like Josepha Sherman! I remember a short story by her some years ago...

I think she's one of those authors who does a lot of short story/ anthology work. I want to say she's been in a couple of MZB's Sword and Sorceress collections.

BTW, your icon cracks me up.
